Secret Service Lapses Putting President Obama At Risk Of Assassination

A new report has been released regarding ongoing security
lapses at the Secret Service, such as agents falling asleep on
the job, while protecting President Obama and his family. The
Inspector for Homeland Security recently chastise two Secret
Service agents for falling asleep on the job. The overall review
released this month indicates agents are falling asleep on the
job due to fatigue from long hours.

In a previous Judiciary Report article 7-MONTHS PRIOR TO
HOMELAND SECURITY'S REPORT ISSUED THIS MONTH, the site did warn
that Secret Service agents need shorter shifts. In the March 20,
2015 Judiciary Report article titled "The U.S. Secret Service Wants $8,000,000 To Build Fake White House
To Practice On" the site stated, "Secret Service agents shifts should not be too long.It's a job
that requires focus, concentration and long hours on one's feet.
Spending too many hours standing and on high alert is taxing on the mind and
body. Preventable mistakes happen under those circumstances."

Secret Service agents falling asleep on the job has proven
the site's previous claims correct. These security lapses are
placing Obama in danger of assassination. He is the second most
hated president in American history, behind George W. Bush.
Additionally, he is black, making him a target for racists. If
the Secret Service keeps this up it's gonna be President Biden.

STORIES ON GOVERNMENT'S REPORT
ON SECRET SERVICE AGENTS FATIGUE:

Secret Service warned about
officer fatigue

Updated 1539 GMT (2239 HKT) October 23, 2015 - Washington (CNN)The
Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General
has sent a stern warning to the Secret Service after two
officers were caught napping at their posts, saying that agents
are overworked and creating a security risk.

The "management alert," which was sent to Secret Service
Director Joe Clancy this week, came after two incidents over the
summer in which officers -- one of whom was at the White House
-- were found to be asleep on the job. They were discovered
while officials from the inspector general's office were touring
facilities as part of an ongoing review of Secret Service radio
communications. Both officers were referred by the Secret
Service for disciplinary action.

According to the alert, one of the officers had worked nearly
60 hours of overtime in the two weeks prior to the incident. It
said Secret Service employees described that as "minimal"
compared to other officers' schedules. The officer told
investigators that long hours, travel and illness contributed to
falling asleep. In particular, he cited a 36-hour shift
involving a trip to Kenya.The other officer reported regularly
working 12-hour days. That officer blamed working in the heat
and a lack of water.

"Fatigue from travel, overtime shifts and long hours
contributed to these incidents," the alert said. It refers to a
prior DHS panel's finding describing the detail at the White
House as "overstretched" and "exhausted" with "low morale." The
panel found that officers regularly work 12-hour days for 13-day
stretches, followed by one day off. "These issues impact
officer safety and the agency's ability to meet its mission,"
the alert said...

Secret Service officers found
asleep on job; watchdog to warn of overworked staff

By Carol D. Leonnig October 22 - A federal watchdog on
Thursday sent the U.S. Secret Service a formal warning that its
overworking of employees is jeopardizing security — citing the
discovery that two Secret Service officers were asleep at their
posts, according to three government officials familiar with the
findings.

The inspector general who oversees the Secret Service issued
a management alert, a formal designation that indicates
investigators have found a problem so urgent or sweeping that it
requires swift attention from senior management.

“This alert describes officer safety issues that may pose an
immediate or potential danger to U.S. Secret Service officers
and those whom they protect,” the inspector general’s alert
says. “We are concerned that the Secret Service’s staffing and
scheduling process does not ensure that officers receive
adequate breaks while on duty and time off between shifts.”

The management alert stems from a routine check this August
of alarms and communication equipment at facilities protected by
the Secret Service, the three officials said. In the wake of
radio failures when a fence-jumper got inside the White House in
September 2014, auditors with the Department of Homeland
Security’s Office of Inspector General rode around to various
sites with Secret Service staff. They found one officer at an
embassy post and another stationed at the White House complex
who appeared to be asleep while on duty...
